While it would be nice to have a strong speedy receiver, Boldin was clearly the Ravens best weapon last night and Pitta was second.
Boldin has such impressive strength and body control but is not likely to break a 4.7 40. As I watch this guy play, I can't help but think that Hernandez should be just as dominant. Hernandez is bigger and faster than Boldin and I would love to see him utilized as such. I mentioned in an earlier post started by AJ that if Welker does leave, I would like to see Hernandez on the field with Gronk and another strong blocking tight end and decent receiver (Ballard I hope). For all the talk about a fast WR, I just see this big lineup as a huge problem for defenses.
Just my thoughts and wishes.

Hernandez = Overrated when the going gets tough like facing a physical Defense Hernandez dissappears!

Boldin hands are far better between the two in my opinion, whereas Aaron is more versatile. I don't really see a distinct similarity between either of them.

Hernandez disappears when he attempts to play on one leg. Anything more than that is just pushing an agenda.

Right. Gronk is actually the better comparison. What catches does Boldin make that Gronk wouldn't, or vice-versa? I'm thinking Gronk may be a little better as a receiver overall, but that may be homerific of me.

The biggest difference between the two is probably blocking.

I would not wish to compare these two at all.

But Boldin has this rock solid physicality which is remarkable for a receiver. He seems to combine the height of a tall receiver with the tank like, close to the ground build of the goal line runner. He's amazing to watch. And does any receiver in the NfL have stronger hands?

I wd love to see him play here for a couple years, but after his performances, i imagine the cost will be too high. Both for us and Baltimore.

I think I've seen more terrible posts (like this one) in the past month on this board than I did in the entire time from signup-January 2013.

Excuses are for losers. Wes Welker takes more physical punishment game in and game out than AH and Wes answers the bell every game.
Aaron Hernandez is overrated, overpaid and underperforming. I still can't believe Belichick gave him all that cash. Crazy!!

Seems like Boldin was pretty non-existent during the regular season. He got hot at the right time.

Boldin is a very tough player. He need face reconstrution surgery and came back in 2 weeks for the playoff when arizona when to SB.

btw
decent receiver (Ballard I hope). - you lost me right there
